[QUOTE="D Lafleur, post: 1188588, member: 27020"] Brian that is an excellent addition to this thread. If you havent picked up a WD hitch yet, get the Equalizer. On ball type trailers less than 7% total weight on the hitch is a no no. The reason your boat works well at 5% is due to distance from the hitch to the axle vs. the length to the end of the boat/motor. Enclosed trailers do not use this ratio, they also are much less aerodynamicly efficient and are affected much more by large vehicles. I personally would not tow with less than 10% tongue weight. I drive a dually I need the weight to sweeten the ride. [B]Sick 96 you are going to be fine with your tow vehicle. The RV guys have more wind/truck issues than you will if you have a typical height trailer for your size.[/B] If you trailer is 12 ft. tall, you are in the big leagues and need to plan for less than 60mph as top speed. If you look in my profile you will notice that I am not a 16 year old boat trailer tower. I am not picking on you, but I have been towing trailers about twice as long as the typical 16 year old has been out of diapers. I have over 200,000 miles towing a similar trailer, and well over 300,000 towing above 20,000 lbs. [/QUOTE]
